Exploring business opportunities in floating wind & test facilities

In the North Sea, wind turbines usually have a fixed foundation. This makes sense because the North Sea is quite shallow. Nevertheless, there are many windy locations where the sea is too deep for such structures. Floating installations can offer a solution in those cases.

Installing wind turbines in deep waters as the Scottish or Norwegian coast will bring new challenges to the industrial supply chain. However, this also results in various business opportunities for companies based in Belgium or abroad. 

Would you like to know more about how to expand your commercial business in these topics? Take part in the event 'Exploring business in Floating wind & test facilities' in Ostend on 22 February.
